In version 3.3, when you start partitionmanager, it starts another instance of partitionmanager which runs as root. It could be that your gdb was attached to the wrong intance of partitionmanager. Version 4 beta also has two processes but different ones. One is partitionmanager process which is most of the code and a small daemon (kpmcore_externalcommandhelper) which runs as root. And the good thing is that even if partitionmanager crashes or is killed, kpmcore_externalcommandhelper will keep running until it finishes current job (not the whole operation, just particular job, but that's already much safer). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It uses the cursor that is defined in user's settings (which is root). As for QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland, partitionmanager 3.3 only depends on Qt 5.10 but new Plasma releases don't set QT_QPA_PLATFORM when Qt is 5.11 or newer. Anyway, the points above become moot with latest beta version of kpmcore/partitionmanager 4.0 since the GUI no longer runs as root. Since you are running beta version of Plasma desktop, you can try beta version of KDE Partition Manager too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
